Wikipedia suggests that Economics is "the social science that studies the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services." The fundamental concept to grasp with respect to P2P and the Commons is that much mainstream economics is of little use in the world envisaged after a [[Commons Transition]]. Indeed, much of mainstream economics points us in what we see as the wrong direction. Articles in this wiki tend to view established economic theory through the critical perspective of Commons and P2P.

In this apparent chaos of differing approaches and worldviews, some authors, notably [[Kojin Karatani]], see economic activity as evolving through different stages. The idea of [[Evolution of the Modes of Exchange]] suggests that the current market-dominated economy may transform into something where the Commons becomes more central and integral. Other historical perspectives can also help to make sense of economics from a P2P point of view.
 
  
−
While established economics sees much of economic life in terms of markets, producers and consumers, the P2P perspective tend towards integration and flexibility of roles, from the now recognised idea of the [[Prosumer]], through to the confusably named idea of the [[Produser]], who produces and uses.

Wikipedia suggests that Economics is "the social science that studies the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services." It is centered around the basic concept of scarcity, and the market opportunities that such scarcity creates, and hardly takes into account what it considers as 'externalities', i.e. our planet and the other living beings on which we depend.

Another key concept is [[Sharing]] rather than selling.

The P2P Foundation proposes an alternative economics that is centered around the institution of the [[Commons]], systematically looks for natural and renewable [[Abundance]], and seeks to develop win-win protocols supported by a generative market function and enabling institutions for the common good (the [[Partner State]]).

[[Commons Transition]]. Articles in this wiki  therefore tend to view established economic theory through the critical perspective of Commons and P2P.

In particular, we seen an evolution from the mere view of active consumer, i.e. the [[Prosumer]], to the active [[Produser]], who both produces and uses. I.e. what we call 'commoners' or 'peer producers'.

Economics is a vast field, (see e.g. Wikipedia: Economics) that has been based on premises that are no longer compatible with the very survival of the planet. The P2P Foundation therefore aims for a re-foundation of economics on different axioms, which we call Commons Economics;

See also below our list of related subdomains that are of particular interest to us and which represent alternatives to mainstream economics.

This category therefore, is for our general material on economics.

Key Quote

Tim Jackson: (2016)

"I have come to believe that building an economy that works is a precise, definable, pragmatic and meaningful task. Enterprise as service, work as participation, investment as a commitment to the future and money as a social good: these four principles provide the foundations for a profound and much-needed transformation of society." [1]

Key Concepts of This Category

Wikipedia suggests that Economics is "the social science that studies the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services." It is centered around the basic concept of scarcity, and the market opportunities that such scarcity creates, and hardly takes into account what it considers as 'externalities', i.e. our planet and the other living beings on which we depend.

The P2P Foundation proposes an alternative economics that is centered around the institution of the Commons, systematically looks for natural and renewable Abundance, and seeks to develop win-win protocols supported by a generative market function and enabling institutions for the common good (the Partner State). We call this process of tranformation, the Commons Transition. Articles in this wiki therefore tend to view established economic theory through the critical perspective of Commons and P2P. We see economic practices not as static but as evolving over time, see Kojin Karatani's work on the Evolution of the Modes of Exchange . In particular, we seen an evolution from the mere view of active consumer, i.e. the Prosumer, to the active Produser, who both produces and uses. I.e. what we call 'commoners' or 'peer producers'.
